Sonic The Comic The Podcast

Dave Bulmer and Chris McFeely

Sharper than a Cyber-Razor Cut! This podcast is your online guide to the Sega-sational world of the 1990's and the UK's official Sega comic: Sonic The Comic.

Join the humes who think they're in charge, Dave Bulmer (a.k.a. DemonTomatoDave on YouTube) and Chris McFeely (creator of Transformers: The Basics on YouTube), as they review each issue from cover to cover, adverts and all, and explain what it was really like to grow up with Sonic The Comic as a piece of culture. Sonic Boomers (that's you, listeners) may also expect the occasional tangent about other pieces of 90's UK culture such as Woolworths and El Dorado.

You can also read along with STCTP on each episode's webpage which can be found at stctp.zone and if that's STILL not enough content for you, join our Patreon at patreon.com/stctp for reviews of the Martin Adams Sonic novels (including an exclusive interview with the author!) as well as livestreams of Dave reading the awful Sonic fanfics he wrote as a teenager to Chris.

    #178.6 - Heroes and Menaces

    Happy birthday Boomers! It's the anniversary of the release of STC, so here's its first mention, and elaborate contextual build-up, from the current draft of the Big Book of Bulmer Bollocks, in which we examine why the UK was ready for a comic like this.

    #178.5 Knuckles the Anteater

    In which Knuckles is pink, young Dave dawdles towards destiny, Timothy gets his own parade, and inspiration hits.

  • April 10 · 2 hr 7 min

    #178 - The That of This - with @abbydenton.com

    Denton is here for the episode where Knuckles decides he has nothing left to live for and Amy knocks him out with a crowbar. I'm not even going to bother typing any more description. It's a silly one.

  • February 27 · 2 hr 3 min

    #175 - We Don't Know What Black Beauty Is - with @faulerro.bsky.social

    The first part of STC's epic finale begins this episode, so we're feeling all beginning-of-the-end-ey. So a string of guests begins this fortnight, starting with the creator of the POUND COIN animation. Any editing errors are because my computer explode

    #174 - Tout à L'heure

    We wave fond goodbye to Lew Stringer this episode. Then we get all silly in the back half. You don't want your back half to get too silly but sometimes it just goes off on its own.

  • January 30 · 1 hr 24 min

    #173 - Bamboozled by a More Prominent Eustace

    Lew Stringer begins his final bow, and what a bow it is! Plus! Dave finally liberates a Squirtle, we all replace our Fresh Prince Fact File collection with the Fresh Prince wiki, Sonic's worst game comes out, and Diggle DELIVERS!

  • January 16 · 1 hr 55 min

    #172 - Tears of Orange

    New Millennium, new world... new STC? The drama is back and we're in a good mood. There's a sincere chance that STCTP's whinge-phase might be over. That's all I can be bothered to write!

    #171 - It's an Ip-Dip

    It's the end of days and the start of days. From now on, this is not a 90s podcast, and it is not the 90s. Join Teen-Dave at the Big Y2K Bash, and adult Dave and Chris at the old men sitting around reading children's comics ward.

  • Dec 19, 2025 · 1 hr 43 min

    #170 - Pavlov the Dog

    We're happy just to be proved wrong this episode as we uncover a forgotten blunder. STC Boomers watch a late cut of an early version of Sonic the Movie, and we sing along with an underrated citv banger

  • Dec 6, 2025 · 1 hr 50 min

    #169 - ...And Roblox

    Good news for lovers of Meccano because that's what there's a surfeit of. We do a Hume Error, Set's got a wonky barcode, and Diary Dave unearths the very first wiki and plumps up his Pink.

  • Nov 22, 2025 · 1 hr 24 min

    #168 - Elephant's Got a PEN

    It's a clippety-clop podcast, in which Robinson's fruit drinks give away a toy of a dismembered part of a Disney hero's parent with tokens collected from special packs.

  • Nov 7, 2025 · 1 hr 54 min

    #167 - I've Got a Chewit In My Mouth

    This is a chewy and slobbery episode, but if you can get through that, it's quite a funny one. It's the beginning of a new era, and we get excited about batteries. I have mercifully cut an hour and a half of JUST reading wikipedia, we're getting worse...

  • Oct 24, 2025 · 2 hr 11 min

    #166 - Groundbreaking Turkey Technology

    We're spluttering and gibbering this issue because this one probably shouldn't have happened. Chris sets about wringing some hate out of Dave, but Dave's attention is elsewhere. Also, we wild-westigate the graphic zone and revive an old dead Zone.

  • Oct 10, 2025 · 1 hr 45 min

    #165 - Non-Copyright-Infringing Blue Fast Rat

    It's Shanazar's swan song - perhaps that should be Frog Song. Dave's frustrated about one game's release while everyone else is excited about another, we learn how not to use a whoopee cushion, use a 4-letter word for Timmy & make Mark Morrison noises

  • Sep 26, 2025 · 1 hr 39 min

    #164 - Grinking and Shrowing

    In this episode, we have gone a bit bonk-nanas. We'll contemplate middle-aged pickles, the best way to have diarrhea and learn what the people of the Bronx did before anyone else, and there's teenage Sonicey beef in the Diary Zone

  • Sep 12, 2025 · 1 hr 36 min

    #163 - A Multiplicity of Mambos

    Sonic meets one of those Medusas and as usual we slam into something we were not looking forward to and actually it makes a bit more sense than we thought. Oodie-boodie!
